Our local Christmas Bazaar was a hit on 11-14-09!!!

There were an over flooded amount of people that came out to show their support for all Craft Artists everywhere! My booth was a hit this year. I sold a good amount of my hats and Cuff gloves and scarves. I also got over 10 orders. So I am just finishing up the last of my orders and now ready to recieve new one's. This picture is what my banner looked like that I had made at In Motion Graphics. They are just exceptional at what they do. After all they helped put my design together and made my booth a big hit. I pray that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is now taking in the Christmas celebration!

Much love, Kimberlyna

Legacy of Grandma Vi

Memoir Short of an amazing Creative Grandma.....

This is MY Grandma Viola or better known, "Gammy Vi". She was my crochet Extraordinaire. She passed away on October 15th, 2008. She was everything that anyone could of prayed for in a grandma! She love anyone and everyone, no matter how bad the person was. Cause she would go down to the local jail, bar or ditch and pull them out and tell them whats what and the Good Lord has a better plan for then! Her favorite gift in life was two things....1. Giving to people no matter what need they had 2. Cleaning anything and everything in site! You had to watch out cause if you were in her dusting space, yep you guessed it, she would dust you too! She could crochet almost anything under the sun in any shade of color. Also she was a seamstress and Raggedy Ann Doll maker. Before her passing in Fall of 2008 she make a total of 2,500 Raggedy Ann and Andy's!!! They were just amazing! And so was she! Before she passed she got to see a slight tid bit of my crochet talent, finally starting to form. She also was able to see 5 victorian dresses that I made for my daughter without patterns. I could see the joy in her eyes when I showed her the items and thats when I knew they would be a permenant craft in my artistic life. But I did not know that soon she would suffer a heart attack and have faulty surgery and pass away in the hospital where I was born at soon after. I mean she just got over beating Colon cancer and showing all the doctor's up! That is when I found http://www.etsy.com/ and knew I had to put all those years of Gammy's teaching to good use! She would be so proud! My Aunt Diane's response once she saw my new online store was "You very well know that Grandma would be there at your house in a second watching your daughter, packaging the crochet items to be sent and giving you an everlasting supply of yarn and crochet hooks and embelishments"! She's right! But Gammy is in Heaven enjoying a pain free life! I miss my Gammy and the country farm life that she provided for all of us cousin's! But all her knowledge will life on forever in my crochet and life as a wife, mom, daughter sister and niece! Love you Grandma Vi Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄

P.S.-The last of Grandma Vi's Raggedy Ann's and crochet items can be seen on the below site.

Memories of a Victorian spring

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Here is a beautiful spring green inspired cloche that I made in early 2009......

"The Spring green/Snow white organic cotton spiral cloche with flower brooch Majestic Green Swollowtail butterfly collection"

I had a joyful time making this cloche as it reminded me of a modern day twist on the ladies of Victorian.

The imagery projected with the shabby chic mirror made my mind twinkle.
